I have been here several times without any qualms- however this experience has lead to this review.
My friends and I were out and wanted a coffee. One of my friends was finishing up a coke so we all went and took a table, ordered some pastries and our coffees. Out of nowhere the barista comes over and starts yelling at my friend with the soda, "you have not soda in here, you buy here!? do you understand?!"
Instantly we understood, of course we speak english. Yet she CONTINUES to verbally reprimand my friend, who is embarrassed at this point. Every table in the cafe has their heads turned because this barista is SO LOUD. Even though we told her we understand and tell her we will toss out the drink, she continues with her rant. It's as if she had this pent up aggression towards westerners and this was her opportunity to REALLY let off some steam.
My friend was so embarrassed that he left the cafe.
I went to pay for my coffee and talked with the barista (who's name i do not know) and told her it was completely inappropriate for her to talk to us like that. She obviously is not the brightest person in the world.
No more Prindl for me OR my girlfriend, OR my other friends here in Vienna! read more
